Ligur Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Now for some pengish feelgood sensations to tighten up our friendly group of vigorous gamers: vadr - Phear my FF artillery Chad ‘Harrison’ - My suicide rifleteam will rout j00 Leta - Fear the 120mm mortars that hit the foxhole where my own FO is trying to count ranges Ligur - You suck! Wait no, thats me... Anyway, you suck! Hawk - I'm setting up an infantry company to assault your heavy SMG squads from a close range! Without support! Walker - My Sherman tanks have an armor rating of 20% Stormhouse - I only use Fallschirmjaegers when on assault! I am gamey!!! Von Viniga - Phear my suicidal "Panzer Convoy" tactic, its so efficient its like a secre super move from WWF wrestling! Jim Liang - UR DEAD Chasd - I hope I don't have to play you. If I do, I'll buy off SuperTed (with chocolate) so I can get 30 Wasp flame tanks and light the map on FIRE! Commander - I will crush you with my command chain of all-dead HQ units In The Open! Rucrazee - You have no chance against my Sherman Jumbo / Pershing /Flamer combo with 240mm arty that shoots off the map and hits the car-repair of my aunt Jenny!

SuperTed Posted December 8, 2001 Author Share Posted December 8, 2001 The first scenario (Blind Man's Bluff) has been sent. Let the games begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Oh my! I know who's a very busy man these days. It's lookin' good SuperTed. Once you get 'em going you'll be able to take a breather. I think you have a great bunch of newbies here. It will be fun to follow. I still think you should make a scenario called, "Nebelwerfers at Night". Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted December 8, 2001 Author Share Posted December 8, 2001 TB, Thanks. I think the Nebelwerfers would go very nicely with the 14 inch guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Harrison Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 here we go! and for those of you who may be curious as to what 'Blind Mans Bluff' is, heres a brief *non tactic* description. its based after the high mark of the bulge, so late dec 1944. allies were attacking germans, ect ect. polish paratroopers got too far forward, and now need to work their way back to friendlier faces. simple, except they have to go through germans to get there. the germans on the other hand are going to other way, trying to escape. so they are going to shake hands and agree to let each other pass by right? why is it called 'Blind Mans Bluff'? thats because all this is going to happen at night, with fog. ill be fielding the polish in this one. shoot, ill have to go get my polish-english dictionary! best of luck to my opponet walker! it looks to be a good battle! chad 'harrison' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Griz Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Well, I'll be the first SuperNewbie to ask a dumb question: how do I contact my opponent? I have a feeling there is an easy answer to this question that I'm just not getting... Thanks again, SuperTed... Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Chad Harrison said: 'Best of luck to my opponent walker' I wonder: 'Is this the CM equivalent of the kiss of death?' One other good thing about being in this tourament, though: I might just manage to get promoted from Junior Member! And thanks Ted for making it happen. And good luck (but not too much ) to my illustrious opponent Chad Harrison too! Chris Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you "reply all" to that (and remove my email address), you should be left with pmet's email address. If you need further help, feel free to email ( tedquincey@yahoo.com ).
